One of the shortcomings for all aquaponics systems has been the ability
to provide the systems with the right combination of trace elements to
grow blooming plants. This is not to say that the nutrients in fish
waste aren’t ample to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash, beans,
zucchini, etc. because we have been able to grow them. However . . .
fish waste alone doesn’t produce ENOUGH iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium to continually
grow large amounts of these blooming plants. This is one of the key
reasons that aquaponics has been slow to commercialize. It’s a fact that
greens (lettuce, basil, kale, etc.) can be grown in almost any
aquaponics system very successfully in almost any climate. But the trick
is to consistently
grow blooming plants that produce multiple crops of (example) tomatoes,
peppers, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, and beans on fish waste alone
because the required blossoming-supportive nutrients are quickly
stripped out of the water and blooming plants cannot continually blossom
and grow plants that produce fruit/vegetables without adding chemicals
because of nutrient deficiencies; fish waste alone does NOT
produce ENOUGH iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium to continually
grow blooming plants that produce food in aquaponics.
